Responsible Travel in Whistler
Being a responsible traveller is about having respect for yourself, other travellers, and the area you are visiting. It’s about planning ahead, knowing your limits, and respecting local rules and regulations. Adventure has never been more important, for our minds and our bodies, so we invite you to adventure differently and be conscious of your impact on the environment and our community.
Here's how to get started:
6 Tips for Conscious Travel
1. Travel midweek and off-peak. Have the best Whistler experience and help lessen the impact on highways and businesses when you travel midweek and during non-holiday periods. Also receive the best deals!
2. Enjoy patiently and be kind. Businesses are struggling with ongoing labour challenges due to the pandemic and this may affect some services. Thank you for being understanding and respectful of the current situation.
3. Stay longer or work remotely. Take time for yourself and enjoy all there is to do. Stay longer, explore deeper and work remotely in the mountains.
4. Be AdventureSmart. Before heading into Whistler's vast terrain, be sure to know before you go so that you can enjoy your activities safely and responsibly.
5. Be an informed traveller. Sign up for Whistler Alert, providing notifications to residents and visitors in the case of a community emergency.
6. Make reservations. To help manage capacity limits, many businesses rely on online reservation systems. Plan ahead with restaurant reservations and activity bookings for a smooth Whistler experience.
